with occlusion preferably:

No, I have no idea how feasible or realistic would it be to expect 
povray to have it.

Sure? What I'm currently pondering has not much to do with displacement- 
or bump-mapping at all.

Naaah. It would look crappy - I'm no good at class-A surfaces.

I'll let you know what it is, in case I'm successful at it (otherwise 
I'd pretend I never even tried :-P)

I guess you folks would like it.

I have no idea how it's done, but I always thought Rune's grass texture was a
neat idea:

http://runevision.com/3d/include/

Completely different, but it reminded me of it.  I wonder if it could be faked
in an *incredibly* roundabout way.

Doesn't Megapov have an angle of incidence pattern that could prove 
useful for this?

I've seen parallax mapping in MegaPOV, should still be online somewhere...

can't find it, but I still had it on my harddisk.  Apparantly it's just 
plain old POV-ray:
--- START CODE ---
#declare camPos=<.5,.15,-.1>*15;
camera {
 location camPos
 look_at <0,0,0>
}
light_source {<500,500,-500> rgb 1}

#declare Colour=function{pigment {
 checker rgb .5 rgb 1
 scale .5
 }}
#declare Height=
function {
 pigment {
  granite scale 5
 }
}
plane {
 #declare planeY = 0;
 y, planeY

 #declare camHeightAbovePlane = camPos.y - planeY;
 #declare bumpDepth = .5;
 #declare q = 1/(1 + bumpDepth/max(camHeightAbovePlane,.001));

 #declare camPosX = camPos.x; #declare camPosY = camPos.y; #declare camPosZ 
=
camPos.z;

 pigment {
  average
  pigment_map {
   [1
    function {
     Colour( camPosX + (x-camPosX)*(Height(x,0,z).x*(1-q) + q), 0, camPosZ +
  (z-camPosZ)*(Height(x,0,z).x*(1-q) + q) ).x
    }
    color_map {[0 red 0][1 red 3]}
   ]
   [1
    function {
     Colour( camPosX + (x-camPosX)*(Height(x,0,z).x*(1-q) + q), 0, camPosZ +
  (z-camPosZ)*(Height(x,0,z).x*(1-q) + q) ).y
    }
    color_map {[0 blue 0][1 blue 3]}
   ]
   [1
    function {
     Colour( camPosX + (x-camPosX)*(Height(x,0,z).x*(1-q) + q), 0, camPosZ +
  (z-camPosZ)*(Height(x,0,z).x*(1-q) + q) ).z
    }
    color_map {[0 green 0][1 green 3]}
   ]
  }
 }
 normal {
    function {
     Height( camPosX + (x-camPosX)*(Height(x,0,z).x*(1-q) + q), 0, camPosZ +
  (z-camPosZ)*(Height(x,0,z).x*(1-q) + q) ).x
    } -2

 }
 finish { ambient 0 diffuse 1 }
}
--- END CODE ---

I have no idea who wrote it.

cu!
